My sponsor used to help me by asking me what my plan was for the day. If you want to stop, you need a plan. That is only if you really want to stop. Otherwise, if you don't want to stop just yet, and if you still think you have to power to drink in an ok way, nothing we can say will convince you not to pick up a drink today. We have all been there.
make the decision.
get new friends.
get some face to face support in a programme.
That seems to be how people before us did it and live happy lives.
I know how it is. We all understand. I found that as I learnt a new way of living and thinking, the bad relationship I was in was easy to give up. The desire to drink and the desire to have anything to do with a bad relationship has left me.
There is a solution B2B and there is hope for you. Go and grab it hun. Today. Just today.

Keep the faith.
If we can make it though today, tomorrow will be a little different I assure you that!
No, definitely not. If I was looking at this from an outsider's point of view, I would probably think to myself, "What a trashy girl". Not to say that's right but that's probably the immediate judgement I would think...
I really, really want to get clean and sober. I feel as if I'm willing. Then again, I thought I was willing last time. I'm hoping for the best.

A counselor pointed out to me that when I finish my goals with "hopefully", I am not sure of myself, I am leaving myself an out. A reservation to drink or drug again.
Ask yourself, do you look forward to your next drink or drug? There was a time that I did, and I did not want to admit it. Today, I do not. The high is just not good enough for me to throw away the self-respect I have today.
